Summer Graduate Courses
Explore. Learn. Teach.
Explore the diversity of agriculture through hands-on, standards-based activities and lesson plans that focus on reading, math and science.
Learn to develop interactive lesson plans that correspond with Kansas educational standards and provide cross-curricular integration of all subjects using Kansas agriculture as the teaching tool.
Teach students reading, math and science using Kansas agriculture, so they discover our ecosystem, investigate the world around us, and learn why agriculture makes it all happen.
KFAC’s Summer Graduate Course prepares K-12 teachers to integrate agriculture into their classrooms. The course exposes teachers to various agricultural opportunities and provides them with a variety of resources to use when preparing and presenting lesson plans to their students.
The course is held at Kansas State University in June, and participants receive graduate credit from K-State for attending the course. The 2012 Summer Course brochure and application are now available.
